Chapter 206: My Name is Bai Zhilan

If Zhu Gaoxu were to rush to offer help to the Red Rainbow Hall.

The effect would certainly be much worse.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu could not state his position so quickly; he needed this old Hall Master to beg him.

At the very least, the posture had to be lowered.

Should I, your father, have to rush to help you?

Zhu Gaoxu did have needs, but these needs were not something only the Red Rainbow Hall could satisfy.

It was just that this opportunity happened to be right in front of him, and the Red Rainbow Hall happened to be right at hand.

Zhu Gaoxu believed that if he really wanted to look, there were plenty of Jianghu gangs willing to submit to his command.

After all, his status was right there.

Zhu Gaoxu simply did not believe that all Jianghu sects were hostile to the imperial court.

He did not believe that wealth, glory, and a life of luxury could not move everyone.

It was just that there would be more trouble, making it less convenient than the Red Rainbow Hall right before him.

Moreover, through this situation, Zhu Gaoxu could also deepen his understanding and control of the Red Rainbow Hall.

That was why Zhu Gaoxu was willing to stay in this Red Rainbow Hall.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was not speaking, Bai Xinghuo, as an old Jianghu hand, immediately understood what he meant.

He secretly thought that this child before him was truly not simple.

Bai Xinghuo suddenly realized at this moment that after saying so much, he still did not know Zhu Gaoxu's identity.

This gave him a start in his heart.

This child was no longer just "not simple" now; in Bai Xinghuo's heart, Zhu Gaoxu was like a monster.

Although it was under his own intentional guidance, the fact that Zhu Gaoxu had pried so much information out of him, an old Jianghu hand, without revealing his identity, left him very astonished.

Only then did Bai Xinghuo suddenly come to his senses; everything he knew about Zhu Gaoxu was merely speculation.

Thinking this, Bai Xinghuo could not help but say, "I still do not know your name, little child; I am actually quite curious."

Listen to the tone behind the words.

Zhu Gaoxu knew that this was Bai Xinghuo probing his identity.

He sighed inwardly; although Zhu Gaoxu had always been consciously downplaying his identity.

This old Jianghu hand had still thought of this point.

However, Zhu Gaoxu also knew that the matter of his identity certainly could not be hidden for long.

If he decided to cooperate, it was best not to conceal it.

And if Zhu Gaoxu took action to help, he believed that such an old Jianghu hand would always be able to see some clues.

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly and said directly, "It is this junior who has been impolite, forgetting to report to Hall Master Bai; this junior is named Zhu Gaoxu."

Zhu Gaoxu...

The surname Zhu!

Bai Xinghuo could not help but shrink his pupils; while his heart shook, he thought of something.

If it were truly as he thought in his heart, then this child before him was the heavens to him!

At this moment, Bai Xinghuo was truly stunned.

He never imagined that a child his disciple brought back casually would have such a massive background.

For a time, even though Bai Xinghuo had roamed the Jianghu for decades, he did not know how to respond.

Given Zhu Gaoxu's status, he was but a commoner; even if he were to bow with the greatest ceremony, it would be justifiable.

Or should he play dumb?

But if he played dumb, what if the other party became unhappy?

He believed that with just one word from Zhu Gaoxu, he would not need to wait for his two disciples to fight to the end; someone would send him to meet his ill-fated son.

Respect him but keep him at a distance?

If so, who would help him?

Currently, the only person who could suppress his two disciples and help him regain control of the Red Rainbow Hall was the Zhu Gaoxu before him.

At this moment, the old Hall Master was truly stumped.

What made him most conflicted was that although Zhu Gaoxu's identity was already laid out in the open.

Zhu Gaoxu had not pointed it out.

So he did not know what Zhu Gaoxu meant.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu had only stated his name and referred to himself as a "junior," keeping a low posture.

But Bai Xinghuo did not dare to truly underestimate Zhu Gaoxu.

Knowing Zhu Gaoxu's identity and still daring to be arrogant would truly be courting death.

For someone of high status to lower their posture is humility.

For a commoner like him to actually think that meant he was impressive—that would be pure suicide.

Bai Xinghuo had wandered the Jianghu for so many years, and the Red Rainbow Hall belonged to the very bottom of the Jianghu gangs.

Bai Xinghuo naturally had his own way of surviving.

To him, Zhu Gaoxu's imperial court status was an existence he could not afford to provoke.

Perhaps those famous chivalrous heroes in the Jianghu, or well-known major sects, would look down on people from the imperial court.

They might even kill one or two imperial officials if pushed to the limit.

But he was different; he could not compare, nor did he have that ability.

So in his view, whether or not someone was from the imperial court had nothing to do with him.

Or perhaps he did not care.

Because he could not afford to provoke him.

Therefore, Bai Xinghuo did not have such great hostility toward Zhu Gaoxu.

One could even say he had not the slightest bit of hostility.

But he did not know how to face Zhu Gaoxu.

Seeing the surroundings fall into silence once again, the little girl sitting beside Zhu Gaoxu spoke.

"So your name is Zhu Gaoxu; my name is Bai Zhilan."

The little girl clearly did not know what the name Zhu Gaoxu signified.

In her view, her grandfather had told everything to the boy before her who was the same age as her.

Then this boy named Zhu Gaoxu must be different from those bad people outside.

The Zhu Gaoxu before her must be a good person.

Thinking this, Bai Zhilan, who had never had any friends, immediately introduced herself.
